Många vackra ord i Trumps tal

Efter att ha besökt Israel höll USA:s president Trump sitt avslutningstal vid Israel Museum i Jerusalem.
Många har lovordat talet och verkar nöjda. Trump sade många vackra ord och uttryckte sin uppskattning och sitt stöd för Israel, men det var inte mycket mer än just vackra ord och fromma förhoppningar om fred som inte har något stöd i verkligheten.
Trump nämnde Hizbollah och Hamas vid namn och konstaterade att de utfört attacker mot Israel.
Fatah, PLO och de palestinska myndigheterna står bakom många av de terrorattacker som utförts mot Israel och de uppmuntrar till och belönar våld, men Trump verkar ändå se dem med Abbas i spetsen som en samarbetspartner och där går nog hans fredsdrömmar i kras förr eller senare.

Who should the world believe?

What Abbas told Trump today,or what Palestinian leaders tell their people regularly?
Abbas to Trump in Bethlehem:
"... two-state solution along the borders of 1967, the state of Palestine with its capital as East Jerusalem living alongside Israel in peace and security."

PLO leader:
"Everyone knows our goal is to liberate all of the land of Palestine"

Palestinian National Council member Khaled Mismar: "The revolution broke out in 1965 (i.e., first Fatah terror attack) in order to liberate all of the land of Palestine (i.e., all of Israel), but circumstances didn't permit it... We have fought, and we have withstood everything, all the plots, but we will realize our goal. True, we agreed to receive only 20 or 22 percent of Palestine (i.e., West Bank and Gaza Strip), but a right is never lost as long as someone demands it. Every one of us knows what our goal is (i.e., to 'liberate all of Palestine')."

General Coordinator of PLO's National Committee for Commemorating Nakba Day, Muhammad Alyan: "We want to say regarding what happened in 1948: No matter how great the losses and sacrifices may be, we will not relinquish one grain of sand from Jaffa, Haifa, Lod, or Ramle (i.e., all Israeli cities). Let this occupation do what it wants., We are staying here, rooted like the olive tree, fighting, and defending [the homeland]."
